Noah Levick joins our hoops conversation this week. He covers the Sixers for NBC Sports Philadelphia, and he has plenty of perspective on all of the recent 76ers topics. Enjoy our talk on the latest episode of The Sixer Sense Podcast.
For the Sixers, the offseason keeps getting more interesting. Everyone knows changes are on the way, yet nobody knows how the team will respond to Doc Rivers’ leadership. Lucas and Chris welcome Noah Levick to The Sixer Sense Podcast, and they open up with predictions on how Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons will acclimate themselves to a new coach. They specifically cover the ways that the two stars will be utilized and whether or not they can be more effective in Rivers’ system.
From there, they stick to players responding to the new style that Rivers will bring to the locker room, only this time the discussion focuses on the rest of the starters and bench players.
Since this will be the second go around for Tobias Harris and Doc Rivers, plenty can be speculated about their reunion. Noah Levick wrote an article about the way Rivers used Harris on offense, helping Harris have his best year as a pro. Can Tobias Harris reclaim the chemistry he and Rivers developed in Los Angeles? The pod thoroughly dives into this possibility.
Next, conversation turns the corner to revisit a familiar topic. The pod discusses Jimmy Butler’s performance in the NBA FInals and what it will take for fans to move on from his decision to leave Philadelphia.
The podcast ends with the social media question on the week, where Lucas, Chris, and Noah provide their opinion on which Sixers player will thrive the most under Doc Rivers.
